A SUPERB Les Farges pyromorphite mini! These sizeable crystals (to 1.5 cm) form a solid stached cluster measuring almost 2 inches tall. The front of the crystals are tilted towards you, so you can see not only their beautiful hoppered growth, but the contrast between the dark-olive color of the crystal sides and the mustard-colored terminations. These are remarkably large crystals for the locale and the piece is in pristine condition, complete all around! 4 x 2.3 x 1.5 cm
